SIAP, RB Freeman is going to be another Early Enrollee as well.

So that's Freeman, Edwards and McIlwain who are EE's. OT Cooperwood is a JUCO EE. CB King will be a JUCO EE. I think we can take 2-3 more to count back for last year's class and still get 25 technically signed to this year's class. So if we could technically sign a full class this year, we could hit 32-33 signees, assuming we can get that many.

Any others y'all remember?

I saw on twitter where some idiot using a Gamecock handle tweeted to Freeman that we shouldn't want him because he's only a 3*.

Freeman had a good comeback.

It is looking more and more like current uga WR Coach (former RB Coach) Bryan McClendon is going to come to SC as the WR Coach (or possibly RB Coach if he and Bently switch positions.)

McClendon is a pretty solid recruiter. Right now he has
4* RB Elijah Holyfield (Evander's son)
3*/4* WR Randrecous Davis

In years past he helped them to sign:
4* DE Nartez Patrick (who has become a problem child for them though,)
5* RB Nick Chub
5* RB Sony Mychel
4* DE Lorenzo Carter
4* WR Isaiah McKenzie
4 other 4*'s that 2014 class (he was 247's National Recruiter of the Year.)
4* RB AJ Turnman
4* LB Reginald Carter
5* RB Isaiah Crowell
4* ATH Nick Marshall
4* LB Ramik WIlson
and several others over the years.

This would be a huge pickup to the staff for offense position recruiting. Right now though, he'll be their HC for their bowl game and then we'll see what happens after that.

... and signs. January enrollee. Prefers to go by the name "Mark" King. Size and speed of Stephon Gilmore - resembles him in some respects.

Promised he could wear #1.

Obviously we have a huge need at CB and this kid can supposedly play.

We may get one more by the end of the week. Possibly 4* WR Ridley, b/c he was to enroll early as well. I think we are vetting him through admissions to see if we can definitely EE him.

Been a whole lot of chatter with him from GamecockNation since the news broke about the "rumblings"...he's definitely aware of the fact that we want him BAD.

Gotta give our fanbase credit...the word is put out to "show them love" and Gamecocks respond in rabid, mob like proportions.

Ridley wasn't even my mind until last week, and now just like that, we may get him. Pretty incredible. If he is ANYTHING like his brother, then we are getting a good one. His brother is shifty with top end speed... sort of reminds me of Peter Warrick from FSU with Troy Williamson speed.

I thought I had read somewhere Ridley was looking to announce at the UA game on 1/2. I guess it would still be possible to get the paperwork complete for his EE and allow him to save his moment until then.

FWIW, I still believe Rooster's cryptic acronym earlier is relating to Rahshaun Smith. Boom truly is the greatest flipper if so.

Rooster's cryptic acronym


I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it pans-out. I have confirmed that a visit, here, has taken place. If we do sign this person it will be maybe the biggest recruiting haul of the new era ... seriously, I'm not kidding, it would be big, huge even. The offer is on the table, now we play the waiting game.

Really good points, and I can bring some clarification here. The Spring 2016 enrollment has technically closed (Nov 1st.) However, there are special admission practices and procedures that allow candidates (such as student athletes) to be reviewed up until Dec 22nd. So we could have already submitted his paperwork to be reviewed to see if he would be accepted and still be within that deadline. Also, classes don't start until Jan 11th this year. He may not announce until the UA game, and I'm not saying that he's a SC lock, but I do believe we have begun the process to see if we can get him as an EE.
